I took early retirement 20 yrs ago. At first I owned a quilt shop with my sister and that kept me busy, finally closed that after 10 yrs and have made sooooo many quilts I lost count. Now I sew most every day at home because I also take care of DH who needs supervision and can not be left alone. Thank goodsness for quilting, helps me keep my sanity. But it is hit and miss depending on the day. sometimes I make a list of things that needs to be done and that helps. Enjoy your time
